Diagnostic ultrasound is a machine that uses sound waves to produce images of structures in your body. Images can provide extremely important information for diagnosing a variety of diseases and conditions. Ultrasound examination is usually done using a standard ultrasound device, some may require insertion of a small device into the body.
Ultrasound waves are generated by a transducer capable of both emitting ultrasound waves and receiving their echoes. Within an ultrasound scanner, the transducer emits a focused beam of sound waves into the body. These sound waves travel through the tissues and encounter boundaries between different types of tissues along their path.
